Do you suppose we might ask the Brazilian government for some financial support to maintain/upgrade LOTW ??  And perhaps if other governments follow suit, we could do the same with them? Also, what terms and conditions might apply vis-a-vis official use of LOTW?  Would we want to introduce some level of anonymity? Lots of cool questions to ponder ....

Interesting article.  Thanks for sending it.

Some countries require proof of contacts to upgrade your class of license. Usually this is via QSL cards. But the proposal would require the use of LoTW.     Ria   N2RJ   Ria Jairam, N2RJ Director, Hudson Division ARRL, The National Association for Amateur Radio Tel: +1.973.594.6275 Email: n2rj@arrl.org https://hudson.arrl.org  http://arrl.org _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv
